THE TEMPERANCE CRUSADER’
PENFIELD, (lEOROIA.
Thursday Morning, i .May 20,1868.
ETXOOK OUT FOR YOUR
ISFSpecial Notice to each Subscriber.^
- With. this issue we begin to send out our ac
counts ; and as we are dunning our friends for the first
time within two years, we hope to receive a ready res
ponse from each and every one. We have been giving
our subscribers good time—have not pressed them at
all during the stringent tightness of the market, anq it
is reasonable to conclude that they appreciate our gen
erosity and will repay us by promptly responding to our
small demands upon their purses. This delay in send
ing out our bills, has caused th e finances of our office to
run remarkably low; bo low that we can’t see nor touch
them. In making out these accounts, it will be seen
that we have been as reasonable as we eould, and have
given the subscriber the benefit of every advantage.
Our uniform custom, heretofore, has been to exact two
dollars a year for each year that a subscriber was in
arrears: but we only ask, now, one dollar a year for
vast delinquences, provided two dollars are inclosed at
the same time to pay for a year in advance ; otherwise,
we # variably require two dollars a year for past dues. If
a subscriber who ip in arrears discontinues his paper,
he must inclose two dollars a year for each year that he
is behind, which would make a large majority of our
accounts several dollars more than to continue the pa
per another year at the present price. We are influ
enced to this course from a desire to retain our patrons;
we would be more than happy to keep every subscriber
whose name we now have on our list; and we have cer
tainly made it to the pecuniary advantage or each to
continue their patronage. All the accounts which we
send out, will include arrearages and one year in ad
vance, as will be seen in the note appended to each.
We are very anxious to have our friends give us their
immediate attention, for two reasons: first, is the scar
city of money; and secondly, we desire to transcribe
our list of names so soon as we can hear from all of
them.
remitting the amount of your bill, remember
to state the time to which (according to the account
sent) it pays.
there be error or errors in any of the ac
counts, we will most cheerfully correct them.
Am Explanation and a Request.
Some of our subscribers will find that we inclose ac
counts against them for another years subscription be
fore the expiration of the time for which they have al
ready paid. In all such instances we intend the ac
counts merely as notices to let the subscribers know
how they stand on our books. They are not duns, and
we beg our patrons to take due notice of that fact for
we dislike to dun a friend after he is indebted to us,
much less before.
If subscribers wish the paper discontinued at the ex
piration of the time for which their remittances pay, yte
request them to inform us of their wishes when the time
arrives, and not twelve months before, as it is impossi
ble for us to keep an account of all such orders.
The Slave, Thornton.
We learn that the application of Judge Cone to the
Supreme Court, for anew trial of the boy Thornton,
nas failed. It is reported here, and at the same time
contradicted by some, that a petition will be made to
he Governor ot the State in behalf of the negro. We
can say nothing as to the truth of the report.
Rust in Wheat.
We are sorry to learn that all the wheat, or at least
most of it in this section, is being seriously injured with
the rust. Some of the farmers whose grain i$ less for
ward than others, are fearful of losing their whole crop.
Wheat which is just blooming, or in full bloom, will
suffer very seriously.
Since writing the above, a friend, who is usually
good authority upon agricultural topics, stated to us
that he considered the wheat crop a failure all over the
State. He says there is a worm in the stalk which is
doing more damage than the rust.
Dr. Crawford, Accepts.
It affords us great pleasure to announce that Dr.
N. M. Crawford has accepted the Presidency of Mercer
University—to which office he was recently elected by
the Board of Trustees at Americus. No better selec
tion, neither as to person or ability, could have been
made. He has occupied the position before, with
marked success, and every true friend of the Institution
will rejoice to hear that he has consented to return and
preside over its interests. ’ The College has never been
in a more flourishing condition than it is at present, and
its future is still brighter. Each separate Department
is filled with an active and industrious officer who is
eminently qualified to discharge the duties of his chair,
and we believe the Baptist denomination is more largely
than ever united in sentiment and friendly feeling to
wards it. Dr. C. will be here in time to preside at the
Commencement Exercises in July next.
Mrs. Bryan—Our Mother-in-law.
One of the funniest things yet, is the idea contained
in a communication to be found in another column, that
Mrs. Bryan was our mother-in-law. Now, while we
have one of the noblest, best and most amiable mothers
in-law in the world, it is due to her to state that she
has never catered for the public in any other way than
through the gratification of the natural appetite, (and
her fame for good eating is State wide) never as
pired to the position of “ Editress,” nor has she ever
desired to be a scribbler, of any kind, for newspapers.
It is likewise due Mrs. Bryan, to state that she is not
yet mother-in-law to any one. She is young—about
20 —very handsome, very intelligent, and the best female
writer of whom we know aught in the Southern Coun
try. *
Punch to America.
In allusion to the universal sympathy with which the
death of Havelock was regarded in America, Punch
says:
We owe our cousins a hearty good wish in, return for
their display of kind feelings. We can hardly wish
them better than this, viz: That America may always
continue to act more wisely by her children than her
mother England has too often done. In that case, the
Union will be spared the knowledge of the value of a
single brave soldieT at a time of unexpected disaster.
And if it should ever happen—who knows ? somehow
the English language, let it be spoken wherever it may,
has a faculty of arousing the enmity of despotism—if it
should ever happen that American bayonets should cross
steel from the Arsenal of Constadt, or Toulin, or Viena
may the gallant Republicans have a leader like Have
lock, to show them how to improve their victory. So
wish England and— Punch.

Specimen of Backwood’s Eloquence. —A man on his
trial for murder, having been found guilty by the evi
dence, is supposed.to have been successfully defended:
by his counsel in the following speech, whichi is qyjite
as good a warrent for the verdict juries so ofjen Tender,
as the usual reasons by which juries attempt to*justify
their finding:
“Thou shalt not kill.” Now if you hang my client
you transgress the command as slick as grease* and as
plump as a goose egg in a loafer’s face. Gcfttlemen,
murder is murder, whether committed by twelve jury
men or by an humble individual like my client. Gen
tlemen, I do not deny the fact of my client having killed
a man ? No.sueh a thing, gentlemen. Ye may bring
the prisoner in “ guilty,” the hangman may do his duty;
but will that exonerate you ? No such a thing. In
that case you will be the murderers, Who among you is
prepared for the brand of Cain to be stamped upon his
hr-ow to-day ? Who, freeman? Who in this land ot liber
ty and light ? Gentlemen,l pledge my word not one of
you has a bowie knife. No,, gentlemen your pockets
are orderiferous with the fumes of cigar cases and to
bacco. You can smoke the tobacco of rectitude in the
pipe of a peaceful conscience ; but, hang my unfortunate
client and the scaly alligators of remorse wJU “gallop
through the eternal principals of your animal viscera,
until the spinal vertebrae of your anatomical construc
tion is turned into a railroad for the grim and gory gob
lins of despair. Gentlemen, beware of committing mur
der? Beware, I say, of meddling with the eternal pre
rogative! Gentlemen, I adjure you by the manumit
ted ghost of temporary sanctity, to do no murder! I
adjure you by the name of woman, the-main spring of
the ticking time piece of time’s theoretical transmigra
tion, to do no murder! I adjure you by the love you
have for the esculent and condimental gusto of our na
tive pumpkin, to do no murder! I adjure you, by the
American eagle that whipped the universal game cock
of creation, and now is roosting on the magnetic tele
graph of time’s illustrious transmigration, to do no
murder! And lastly, if you expect to wear store jnade
coats; if you ever expect free dogs not to bark at you;
if you ever expect to wear boots made of the free hide of
the Rocky Mountain buffalo, and, to sum up all, if you
ever expect to be anything but sneaking, low-flung,
rascally, braided small ends of humanity, whittled down
into ludistinctibility, acquit my client and save your
country.
The prisoner was acquitted, of course.

per, intended for the public to read, and hence, we can
not expect to consult our own pleasure, exclusively, as
to the matter it shall always contain; consequently, we
extract the very highly appreciated,though extravagant
compliments of our friend, in the Crusader.
We were rejoiced to learn, after reaching home from
the celebration, that the Division, after the public exer
cises were concluded, initiated 22 members in their ranks.
Let it be proclaimed from every stand-point, that_ the
hosts of temperance are rapidly recruiting for another
and yet fiercer conflict.

We learn, by a communication from Uncle Dabney,
to be found in this paper, that he had a glorious time at
Weston, on the 6th instant, the day appointed for him
to speak there. The pe<*s&VrtMwout in multitudes, and
a temperance enthusiasm, rarely surpassed, pervaded
the entire community.
O be Joyful.
If temperance men ever had reason to be joyful, it is
at the present period. A greater power than ever be
fore was witnessed or felt in our nation, is bringing
thousands and tenafof thousands of our young men and
lellow citizens into a frame of mind in which they will
be most ready to adopt our principles, to shun the in
toxicating bowl, to break from all connection with the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating drinks, and to
walk in the paths of true abstinence. Such a condition
of things will not release us from labor; it will rather
excite us to more labor, because of the increased pros
pect of success. Vast portions of society will be sub
ject still to the fatal delusion ; grog shops will be open
early and late, rivalling and excelling the very prayer,
meeting in their own neighborhood; but many of them
will fall; conscience will now be doing with distillers
and venders its terrific work. Multitudes of consumers
will perceive that moderate drinking is most destruct
ive to the operations of the Spirit of God, and will open
their hand and let the cup fall to the ground. Now is
the time lor temperance labor, and we sincerely hope
that it will be labor most consistent with the operatious of
the Spirit of God. We are happy to find temperance
frequently connected with the prayer meeting, and we
hope that there will be prayer in temperance meetings
and a deep feeling that the salvation of the immortal
spirit, as well as the property, health and life of the mise
rable inebriate, are now at stake,— N. Y. Journal.
Sewing Machines.
Quite a number of these machines being in existence,
it is a matter of considerable interest as to which of
them is the machine. For cheapness, to the best of
our knowledge, Grover & Baker’s (a notice of which
appears elsewhere) may be had for twelve months’ in
terest on the price of any other offered to the public, that
interest of the rate some people have been known to
charge. It is also to be as much preferred for simplic
ity. But neither of these, nor both of them, constitute
a good machine. As to its real merits, we give below
what we find in that “wide-awake and duly sober”
journal, the Augusta Dispatch:
There i no question but these inventions are creating
a perfect revolution in the world of sewing.
W’e, the other day, alluded to the Grover & Baker
t Machine. Since that time we have, in passing the
store of Stovall & Cos., the State Agents, noticed them
i shipping several machines to the interior. We have also
been shown the following certificate from a gentleman
1 who has recently bought one ol them:
Covington, Newton Cos. Ga. )
April 25, 1858. j
I have been using one of Grover & Baker’s Sewing
Machines for nearly two years, and I take pleasure in
recommending it to the favor of all families. It is very
simple, worked in all kinds of coarse and fine
sewing, doing it with neatness and strength. I would
particularly recommend these machines to planters and
farmers, as being admirably adapted to all plantation
sewing.
In my county there are q number, owned in different
families, and without an exception, they give universal
satisfaction. John T. Henderson.
Well Done Crinoline!
While the doings and sentiments of Ohioans are some
times rather hateful in this latitude, we can commend
the course of the ladies at Cuyahoga Falls, who made a
perfect “j hucking” of half-a-dozen liquor-shops and
saloons at that place a short while since. It is said that
at some places they were resisted, but manfully bat
tered down the down the doors and spilled all the liq
uor they could find. Major Wetmore, a magistrate,
read the riot act to them, but the crinoline was immova
ble, and marched straight on till every liquor-shop in
the village had been finished.
Tbe Ancient Leprosy Still Extant-
The great moral leprosy which pervaded and ruined :
ancient Israel, was continually manifested in such ex
pressions as these : “The time is not come, the time
that the Lord’s house should be built.” It was a fear
of moving forward in any aggressive measures upon the
kingdon of darkness, or an indolence of temper which
forbade any new enterprise. And the same is witnessed
in our day, as much as at any previous one. The
time has never come to do what the heart wishes not to
have done. It is seen in individuals, in States and na
tions. The impenitent sinner waits God’s time to be
converted. The time ianot come that he should do his
duty. The time had never come w,hen Pharaoh should
let the people go. And for 26'years William Wilber
force labored against this, feeling in England. And the
same moral leprosy is upon many minds and hearts re
lating to the annihilation’ of that scourge of the human
race, the traeffic in intoxicating drinks. The time is
not come, the time that society should be delivered from
the scourge,; the world from the curse. It assumes
various forma,ancbplifises, but it always ends in this.
The time has not come for prohibition. The people are
not ready. They must be brought to it by instructions
moral suasion ; and when they are ripe for it, then it
will be joyfully received and the people will renderitfull
obedience. Not a more pestilent heresy exists than this.
It readers every other state of things right, and demand
ing submission. If the time is not come for prohibition
tb.sn it has come for permission, or license, or free and
unrestrained trade in that which sweeps all blessedness
from the earth. The men who oppose prohibition be
t cause the people are not prepared lor it, sit down quietly
under the existing state of things as best adapted to the
condition of society ; it may be license of the traffic,or
something else. They would have us contented with
things as they are, until some change comes over the
community. But time for the right is now, to day; for
the wrong never. It is time for Christ’s Kingdom to
be set up all over the world and for every knee to bow,
and every tongue to swear ; and for every Christian to
acton this, and not wait before his part in this great
work, until the Heathen, by a long course of inst/pc
tion, are prepared to receive it. If the British Govern
ment and the East India Company had acted on this
prinoiple, instead of licensing Juggernaut and counte
nancing Hindooism as the best religion under all cir
cumstances, or to he winked at and tolerated, what a
different state of things might now have been witnessed.
Hall and Newel and Judson would never have been
driven from these shores but might at once have set up
the Kingdom and the Dominion. But the time had not
come. Prohibition of the accursed traffic is demanded,
in Britain. The death stream which has flowed there
for the.last half century, ha3 been like the Danube,
where every drop ; should represent a Hying soul, floating
down to the ocean of eternal death. And it should he
stopped. But no.;, the people are.not prepared, fat it;-
they must have a qqurse of moral training. Only think
of'it; moral training amid 500,000 beer and drink shops,,
poisoning the people and paying a monthly tribute iijto
the treasury of the State like a Grecian Argos. And
what becomes of the men who see the right while the
moral training goes on ? They are tied hand and foot,
and their mouths are shut; and by, and by, they have died
away. In the State ofNew York the time has not come
for a prohibitory law; and so it was thrown aside and
we were mercifully put upon a course of moral training
under the excise law and told to enforce the prohibitory
parts of that, and the people would, by and by, become
ripe for prohibition, and where are we now l How near
to it we should like to know. In Maine it has done its
w’ork, but in a contrary way to its own intent ions; done
it by its own loathsomeness. Society is never revolu
tionized by sticking a stake at a long distance and
bringing the people gradually to it, while there are ad
verse influences keeping the people afar off. Nor is an
individual. Nor is the time for repentance, the time to
cut off the right hand and pluck out the right eye. We
sympathize with our friends in England and Scotland,
who are told from high authority they must not urge
prohibition, but must wait for a course of moral train
ing that the people may be prepared for it. What can
this do but gratis/ every distiller and brewer, and ven
der and consumer in the United Kingdom. They fear
no moral suasion; nothing but prohibition. Howridic
iculous to say the people are not prepared for it; as well
say the drunkard is not prepared to abandon his cups,
or the licentious man his lußts ; the slave is not pre
pared for his liberty: the city, to be delivered from the
ravages of cholera ; or the oppressed, from the ravages
of war. Man is always prepared to be delivered from
the power of evil and to he brought into liberty and
blessedness. Once let the work be done, and if will be
found so. We have-spoken long, but these are the great
points now with temperance men ; direct action ior what
is right and what the public good demands, or delay in
the nope and'expectation that, by and by, the world will
he in a better condition. How long halt ye between two
opinions? If the Lord be God follow him ; it Baal, follow
-him. If license is right, let ufc have it with all its drun
kenness, poverty, crime and death- But if prohibition
what end to all this drunkenness, insanity, private and
public suffering, let us have that. The pople can have
an if they deaire.— Jour. Amer. T. Union. *

As the sunlight on that stream
Glads the dwellers of the river
With its evanescent beam,
Then is gone, and lost forever;
So life’s gay and beauteous morn
Comes to cheer us with its light:
While if does our path adorn
Suddenly it sinks in night.
Fowls that float upon that water,
Gamboling amid the spray,
Symbolize each son and daughter,
.Deßtined soon to pass away.
.Herbs and flowers, in summer growing,
By the margin of the stream,”
Die when Autumn winds are blowing,
So expires each youthful dream.
But there is a land above us
Where the flowers never fadh;
(There dwell those who most do love us)
By the Savior’s hand ’twas made:
There the harp-notes, ever swelling,
Mingle with the tide of song—
All in heavenly anthems telling
Forth the gladness of that throng.

SUPERIOR COURT—SUICIDE—’ACCIDENT
—“'“HAH, ROAD CONVENTION
•■•-ilns. BRYAN.
Augrsta, May 13th, 1858.
Richmond Superior Court commenced its session on
Monday, 3rd inst. As yet, no very important case has
been tried. Several persons have been tried and found
guitly at this term, of minor offence, such as selling
liquor (without a license); stabbing (without a li
cense) committing adultery (without a license.) . Surely
if a license be granted in the one case, it should in all.
Drunkenness has been the prolific source of all the
criminal cases tried at this term.
Are we a tsane people? Judging from the numerous
suicides reported by the Press, the question is emphati
cally answered in the negative. Some attribute the
alarming increase of suicide, to the effect of strychnine
whiskey! On Thursday, 6th inst., DavidW.Davidson,
an Irish Israelite, committed suicide; he placed the
muzzle of a musket in his mouth, and pulling the trig
ger by means of his foot, discharged the contents of the
gun, completely tearing his brain and skull into frag
ments. Portions of the brain and skull were scattered
on the floor, walls and ceiling. It was a sickening sight
to behold the headless and disfigured trunk of the unfor
f tunate man. The Jews of the city refused to read
their burial service at the funeral, but buried him in
their portion of the cemetery. On the 7th. inst. while
laboring under insanity, a Mr. Lane, connected with an
extensive and influential firm in Philadelphia, and who
had arrived that morning by the. Georgia Rail Road
train, attempted to cut his throat with a pocket knife,
but was prevented from carrying his purpose into effect
by Isaac Levy, Esq. who had closely watched him for
some time suspectinghis design. The wounds inflicted
were slight. He was in possession of a large amount
of funds, which, with Mr. Lane, were very promptly
taken in charge by the city authorities.
On Saturday night, Bth inst. at or near ten o,clock, a
tremendous explosion occurred in the lower part of the
city, at the residence of a Mr. Munger, resembling i n
sound the report ofa cannon. A servant woman, named
Violet, the property of Mrs. Wilson, having occasion
to go near a barrel which had previously contained Ker
osine Oil, thoughtlessly applied the blaze of a candle'to
the bunghole, when the gas arising from the oil left in
the barrel, (a very small quantity) took fire, causing
an instantaneous explosion, and driving the head of the
barrel with great force against the breast of the negro
woman killing her immediately. On Sunday night 9th
inst., the toll house of the Augusta Bridge, occupied by
J. W. Meredith, bridge keeper, was entered by means
of a false key, and Mr. M’s pants containing the key
of the safe, was taken, the safe unlocked and S4OO ab
stracted therefrom. Lewis, a negro man, the property
of Mr. Meredith, was arrested on Monday on suspicion
and lodged in jail. The pants ot Mr. M. have been re
, covered from the boy.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, 10th & 11th inst., our
city was enlivened by the presence ot a large number of
strangers, who came down to attend the annual con
vention of the stockholders of the Georgia Railroad com
pany. Our Hotels were crowded with a good sprink
■ ling of handsome country belles, who look natural, fresh
and buoyant, with roseate-tinted cheeks painted by the
hand of nature alone, and excellent appetites, but un
used to the dissipating follies oi city life. “Ham and
strawberries” appear very popular with the majority
of them.
I was conversing not long since with an intelligent
gentleman concerning the merits of the ‘ Crusader’ and
its accomplished Editrees, Mrs. Mary E. Bryan. He
stated his high appreciation of her writings, and that he
earnestly desired to see them published in a more sub
stantial form (and he is only one among many who de
sire it) than that of the newspaper. He also stated,
that he had been creditably informed that Mrs. Bryan
was your mother-in-law. Not knowing, I could not tell
him, whether his information was true or false. My
impressions are that it is not true, I have imagined
Mrs. Bryan as a lady scarcely past twenty-two, with
the brow of the matron adorning the face of the mai
den. As one “ upon whose face, as on a lovely land
scape, shade and sunlight play as strong feeling sways;
whose eye now flashes a beam of rapture; now lets fall
a tear; and upon whose brow, as when the rainbow
rears its fair arch in Heaven, peace sits and gilds the
sweet drops as they fall.” As one, in whose voice
“dwells the soul of mind,” and whose sighs “althongh
they speak the troubles of her soul, breathes of its sweet
ness.” This is my ideal; her friends know the actual.

Weston, Webster Cos. Ga. May Bth, 1858.
Dear Seals : I thought while resting to-day I would
drop a running letter. I suppose you landed home safe.
Were you highly pleased with your trip to Jefferson?
The assemblage, the music, the dinner, combined to
make a lovely May-day-—lovely cold-water day. There
were, twenty-one initiations in the afternoon. .I spoke
about two o’clock; no abatement in the interest of the
meeting; and though I would have been glad, in many
respects, for you to have remained, yet, as you had oc
cupied so much ground l —gave the old prince so many
homo-thrusts, and running up and throwing to the
; breeze our sweet white flag, fluttering- beautifully—that
absolutely the “old:man” had but little to do but call
up our united, forces, and shout to the charge upon what
was left in his okl ugly visage. Meeting over, Houser,
with his choir, played, sung and charmed us back to
the Division-room. I preached on Sunday to a good,
respectful and serious congregation, having stayed Sat
urday night with good friend Cheatham; dining on
Monday with Rev. W. D. Bussy; after staying all
night (Sunday night) at Hesperia, Dr. Houser’s resi
dence, and supping with Nelson Murphy, a good S. o
T. and Methodist, I am conveyed to Spier’s Turn Out
and take Central R. R. You may rest assured I dreaded
the night of travel; who can sleep amidst the shake
and clatter of a’car, piled up in a scat ?
We arrive at Macon in due time ; stay a while amidst
the bustle of changing cars ; soon aboard S. Western
cars; pass Americus after sunrise and stop at Smith
ville and get off for breakfast, which was truly accep
table after a long night’s ride without sleep; soon alter
I got off'the cars, the gentleman sent tor me from Wes
ton Lodge K. of J., Bro. Arthur Bell, with, whom I
was not acquainted, approached me; he was told to
look for an old, ugly, plain-dressed mttn, and sure
.enough ho hit me the first trial, among all present; we
stay the balance of Tuesday, 6th May, with Mr. Ellison,
a good Baptist, who treated us not hardy hospitably,
but with marked friendship. Wednesday we arrive at
rtiy friend Bolls; Thursday, 7th May, arrives; a mem
orable day for the Temperance cause in this part of S.
W. Georgia! I spoke at 11 o’clock in the Methodist
Church to a large, intelligent respectful congregation ;
as usual, I gave the best I could, receiving at the close
twenty-one .petitions, ladies and gentlemen, to swell
the gallant band of K. of .T. (Miller Lodge.) After
meeting in the grove, we see standing the long, extended
table, spread with all the substantiate and luxuries that
any epicure could desire, awaiting the onslaught of the
multitude. The Jefferson ladies must not “pout,” if I
say it equalled at least any anniversary dinner ever
spread in Bethany’s sweet grove; though the families
about here mostly emigrated from old Burke and Jef
ferson. Well now what dp you think; (and will you
pardon me for saying it is but another evidence of my
popularity with the ladies in Georgia;) the ladies took
it info tlieir heads tp present Uncle Dabney a superb
pound-cake, surrounded-with ‘beautiful bouquets ayd
flowers. The sedne -ofthe presentation of the cake was
in the Academy, brilliantly lit up, and a large clowd
out. Rev. N. P. L. Binion, In behalf of the ladies, pre
sented the cake, accompanied with remarks of a per
sonal character—such ho was v-ery able to,make; he,
however, I expect, confirmed the ladies in the belief—-of
which the pound cake \yas evidence—that tho donor
was the friend of Georgia’s daughters ; stayed aIL night
Avith my amiable friend, I’ev.~Wm. Parke, who, to he
known, is beloved; I know his father. To-morrow, if
spared, I preach in the Methodist Church; from hence
to Lunpkin. When I get home, if spared, you wilt hear
from me again. Suffer me before closing to say that
what I have seen ol S. W. Georgia, now is, and is cer
tainly destined to be, one of the most important sections
of Georgia, on tlie score of Intelligence, Agriculture—
and I hope Temperance—and marked hospitality.
Respectfully, D. P. JONES.
P. S. Had I not swelled this to so unreasonable a
length, I would describe my visit to Preston, Webster
County,-to which place I was invited. I must, there
■ fore, defer this for a future number. D. P. J.
MARY BALDWIN.
‘[Written for the Georgia Temperance Crusiuler.]
Mary Baldwin was a beautiful, accomplished young
lady of very fair complexion, dark hazel eyes, rosy
cheeks and symmetrical form, with beauty and grace in
every motion.
- Her parents, who were wealthy, had in her early
childhood, and she had been raised by a kind aunt, that
had nurtured her as tenderly, and loved her as dearly
as though she had been her own child. She had been
raised in the lap ofluxury, and basked in the sunshine
of fortune’s smiles.
As she was very lovely, kind-hearted and affection
ate, she was idolised by her- aunt, loved by her friends
and admired by the beaux.
At the time I shall introduce her to my readers, she
has just arrived at sweet qighteen, and hasjusl returned
from College, where she had graduated with the highest
honors. And now that she has just emerged from the
restraints of school, and is surrounded by loving and
caressing friends, it is not at all surprising that shewas
happy. Sho was enjoying all the pleasures of the pres
ent, and looking forward, with foud hopes and bright
anticipations, to an alluring future.
But alas ! how often is it the case that our brightest
hopes are blasted, and wither like the rose that is
blighted in its beauty and bloom! But let me not an
ticipate.
Being beautiful, wealthy and accomplished, it was
quite natural that she should have many” admirers;
but of her numerous lovers, I shall speak of but two:
Richard Clayton and Theodore Tompkins.
Richard Clayton was a young man of good moral
character, steady, business habits, a strong and well
cultivated mind, and a noble heart. Though he was
gentlemanly in his appearance, smooth in his manners,
kind-hearted and obliging; yet, he did not possess any
of those little graces, airs and affections so much prac
ticed by the fashionable dandy.
He was raised near Mary—had been to school with
her, and many were the happy hours he had spent with
her in childhood’s sunny days.
But now he had not seen her in four long years, and
she had grown from the playful little girl into the ac
complished young lady. He longed to see her, and
must pay her a visit.
I will pass over their first meeting. Suffice it to say
he was perfectly captivated by her many charms. She
was so lovely, so intelligent, so artless and so affection
ate, that it seemed as natural lor him to love her, as for
flowers to bloom in the genial rays of spring. He had
seen and been in company with many young ladies;
and though he had the highest respect and veneration
for the female sex; yet, he had never loved before.
But now it seemed that he had met withakindred spirit
and congenial nature, in this lovely being, that awa
kened the tender emotions of his heart.
It was a lovely summer night they sat conversing in
the portico that was encircled by a blooming vine, whose
sweet fragrance was wafted on the gentle breeze. The
moon was shedding her silvery light around them ; the
stars twinkled in the blue etherial sky; and all nature
was serenely beautiful. As Richard gazed on all this,
and the lovely being by his side, he was perfectly de
lighted ; it seemed that he was in a land of enchant
ment, or a little paradise on earth.
The conversation flowed freely; the hours glided ra
pidly away ; and though Richard spoke not of his own
love ; yet, Man felt that she had awakened the tender
passion. He paid her frequent visits, and many were
the happy hours they spent together. Mary seemed
pleased with and encouraged his attentions, for she was
charmed with his conversation, admired his intellect,
and knew him to be a worthy, noble-hearted young
man. >-
Business of an important character called Richard
unexpectedly from home, and, perhaps, he would be gone
several weeks. But before leaving, he must bid Mary a
kind adieu; and he resolved, at that meeting, to tell her
of his love, and learn his destiny. But when the hour
came, his heart was too full for utterance. It is easy for
the polished flatterer to talk of love, and flatter those for
whom he cares but little; but when the young, unsophis
ticated lover meets with a gentle, lovely being, upon
whom he centers his purest affections, and loves with
all the ardor of a young and tender heart, the emotions
swell in his bosom, aud lie cannot find words to express
his feelings. So it was with Richard. He concluded
to wait until he had left and wr’te to her. Their part
ing was sad ; he bade her a kind farewell and left with
a heavy heart.
Theodore Tompkins was a young gentleman of fine
personal appearance —dressed in the latest style—wore
a beautiful moustache—was very polite, and had a smile
and a bow for every occasion. He lived in a neighbor
ing town; and though he was in rather limited circum
stances, he had no vocation only to live in gentlemanly
style, and enjoy life as it passed. He was fine looking—
very lively and polite, and was quite a favorite with the
young ladies. A short time after Mary’s return from
school, he paid her a visit; and being much pleased
with her beauty and accomplishments, and very anxious
to possess her fortune, lie resolved to win her heart.
He made her frequent short calls, and as he was Very
lively and fascinating, Mary was pleased, with his at
tentions. He continued his visits, was very attentive
and devoted, flattered her a great deal, and finally told
her a flowery tale of love, asked her to he his guardian
angel, and in short, offered her his hand and heart. And
though he insisted on a positive answer, Mary desired
moretime for reflection, promising to give him an an
swer soon. He spoke eloquently of his love —desired
her not to keep him long in suspense, assuring her that
lie loved her to distraction, and knew that it she did not
accept his proposition, he should die, as lie could not
survive the shock. The next morning, Mary received
a letter, and upon opening it, read as iollows:
- Dear Mary: Though absent, you arc the theme of
my daily thoughts and nightly dreams, lor my mind is
ever wandering to the home of her whom I love. I know
not how to woo in gentle strains, but believe me, dear
Mary, when I tell ybu that my heait is wholly yours.
Oh! could I but know that your feelings were similar
to my own; and that your heart beat responsive to
mine, I would be the happiest of mortals. Will you,
dear Mary, accept the first afld strongest love ofa young
and ardent heart, that never before worshipped at the
shrine of female loveliness ? If you can return my love,
and will unite yourdestiny with mine, it will be theob
ject of my life to make you happy. I can appreciate
your womanly worth, sympathise with yonr emotions ;
and will, with a strpng arm, shield you from life’s stor
my billows. United to such a gentle, lovely being as
you are, I know that I would be happy; you can cheer
my solitude, soothe iny sorrows, share my joys, and
with a gentle hand strew flowers along life’s rugged
way. Keep me not too long in suspense, for I feel that
my happiness or misery hangs tremblingly on your de
cision. Your devoted lover,
RICHARD CLAYTON.
Aiter perusing it, she sat for a long time, apparently
in a deep study. She was thinking of her lovers, and
the time had arrived that she must decide between the
two. She knew Richard to be a worthy, intelligent,
high-minded, .ngieeable young man; she had encour
aged Ins attentions, and many were the pleasant mo
ments she had spent in. his society. Bui of late her
thoughts had-been so much engrossed with thesplcndid
Mr. Tompkins, that she had thought but little ot Rich
ard. Mr. Tompkins was so very handsome, polite and
d> voted ;,wns so lively, and had such a pleasant way of
flattering and making love, that she could not resist his
fascinations. She had been told that he was a little dis
sipated—had boon seen at the gaming table—frequently
took a social glass, and sometimes indulged rather free
ly. But was a young maiden ever known to reject a
line looking, fascinating young gentleman because he
was a little dissipated ? How often is l it the case that
they lire HttUcred and caressed by the fair sex,■while the
yottug-man of steady habits and moral, worth aro trea
ted with ( oldness end contempt >
In a short time, Mr. Tompkins called on Mary to
learn his fate; and the result of their interview can be
khown by perusing the following epistle that she Wrote
Richard a few days afterward:
Dear Rickard: I have long esteemed you highly as a
friend, and am truly sorry that your feelings of friend
ship have grown into a wanner passion, for I cannot re
torn your iovc, as my heart and hahd arc already given
to another., You know not how painful it is tome to re
ject your suit, for I respect your feelings, and look upon
you as a noble and worthy young man. I trust, how
ever, that you will soon forget me, and find some other
more worthy of your fovc than myself.
Believe me to be your sincere friend,
MARY BALDWIN.
When Richard read this, he felt that a cloud over
shadowed his being. He looked upon life as a dark,’
dreary, desert waste, with no blooming rose to cheer the
dreary solitude.
But time is a great alleviator of sorrow; and though
he was ever constant to the memory of his first love,
and never married another, he lived a useful, honorable
life, and received the happy reward of doing good to
others. And in after years, when fond memory recalled
he happy hours spent with his Mary, he looked upon
them as the greenest spots on memory’s waste.
Theodore Tompkins married the beautiful heiress —
immediately became in possession of her wealth ; and
many were the congratulations he teceived front his
friends upon his good fortune. He purchased a beauti
ful residence in his native town, adorned it with taste
and luxury, and to it carried his happy bride. In the
spring-time oflife, surrounded by all the luxuries of
wealth, and enjoying the society of a gentle, lovely and
loving wife, it seems that he should have been happy.
But in order for man to bo happy, he must have some
thing to hope for. Ilad Tompkins devoted his timeand
talents to some useful or honorable employment, he
might have been happy—rendered his wife happy, and
been a blessing to community. But he had long in
dulged in habits of idleness and dissipation; and habits
once formed are hard to brtlak; and now he often left
the society of his lovely wife for that of the drinking
and gambling saloon.
As time wore on, he grew more intemperate ; and
often the tender partner of his bosom was left to the sol
itude of her lonely chamber till past the midnight hour.
His polished manners were becoming more rude; his
fine features getting coarse and bloated, and he was ra
pidly pursuing the road to.ruin. Mary saw the danger
of the course he was pursuing, and often, with a gentle
voice, w arned him to stop before it was too late. He
would resolve and promise to do better; but his appe
tite for drinking and gambling had grown so st.ong,
that it overcame his better resolutions; and he plunged
wildly on in his mad career.
In a short time, his wife’s fortune was gone—his
beautiful house sold, and he and his lovely wifeand ten
der babes were left to struggle with poverty and adver
sity. Had Mary been raised in poverty, and used to
toil and hardships, she could better have borne her pres
ent condition; but she had been tenderly nurtured, and
lived in ease and affluence; and now to be thrown in ab
ject poverty, with a drunken husband, and none to
cheer, soothe or sympathize with her, it seemed that her
misery was more than she could bear. But why should
I attempt to portray the misery of the drunkard’s wife?
It has often been done by much abler pens than mine.
The rose faded from her cheeks, and she was pale and
haggard. She seldom went in company, for it was very
mortifying, to one of her sensitive nature*, to be neg
lected and slighted by those that courted her society in
her happier days. Aided by her talents and education,
she gained a sustenance for her family, and with Chris
tian meekness, endeavored to be resigned to her fate, so
lacing herself by looking forward to the time when her
earthly toils and trials would be over, and she would
have a happier home in Heaven. W. E. L.

May-Day
At Bethany Camp-ground, Jefferson Coitnty, Ga.
Mr. Editor: Knowing your zeal in every cause that
benefits the world, I offer you a few remarks about our
May-Day down here in the Wire-Grass. It was the
9th anniversary of Baldwin Raiford Division S. of TA NARUS.;
and a more lovely and pleasant day has seldom come
and gone. Jno. H. Seals Esq. Editor of the Temperance
Crusader, was orator of the day. We had long Known,
from reading his editorials, that he was a talented and
classically beautiful writer, but we were not aware
of his being one of the most eloquent and beautiful
speakers of his age in Georgia ; but such he undoubt
edly is, as was well proven to his large audience on this
occasion. I shall not attempt to repeat even a synop
sis of his speech, but an item or two, even poorly given,
and stripped of the polished drapery he threw around
them, may not be amiss.
The foes of the temperance cause, he said, had been
predicting its fall because a Division here and there had
died, and some who once were brethren nowswelled the
ranks of the enemy—because it had not conquered the
world in the short time it had been in existence. True,
it had not accomplished all its sanguine friends had
hoped for, but still, its triumphs were seen on every
hand: in the improved moral tone of society; in the
disgrace that now attaches to the business of the grog
seller; in the changed habits of men about supplying
alcoholic drinks to their children, and to their laborers
at gatherings. The glorious gospel of the Son of God
had been preached for 18 hundred years, and still, a
large majority of men were sinners. Was the gospel a
failure? Every reform has had its days of cloud and
storm, followed, invariably, by the blaze of happy sun
shine, as the agony of the cross was succeeded by the
glpries of the ascension. When mediaeval darkness
still shrouded the earth, the monk of Wirtemburg ven
tured alone to blow upon it. Devils laughed, friends
trembled.for him, and wicked, worldly men despised;
but God was with Luther in the grand move he made;
and though years of alternate success and seeming fai
lure had attended the Reformation for centuries, the
Popedom had fallen from its proud mastery of all the
kingdoms in Western Europe to the condition ofa thing
despised, and the present lord of the Vatican, owed his
personal safety to the protection ofFrance and Austria.
Did Washington despair of success, after the disas
ters of Long Island and Germantown? Did he heed the
roar of the rushing ice in the Delaware, and, calling off*
his frost-bitten, half siarved soldiers from the unequal
and seemingly hopeless strife, give up all for lost? Nay!
but gathering fresh courage at every step, from thejus
tice of his canse, he pushed unfalteringly onward, until
the victorious shouts of his army, at Yorktown, told
the brave yeomanry of America, that the tyrant’s chain
was riven, and they and their loved ones were free.
Mr. Seals also made some most telling hits at that le
galized style of murdering people—the granting of li
cense by the State, to sell grog. Were la grog-seller,
said he, I’d carry my license with me wherever I went—
by night and day, and when I was buried it should be
placed under my head in the coffin; then, when the
eternal Judge called me to account for starvings, tor
ments and murders of poor, helpless women and chil
dren, I’d reach back my skeleton arm for tho license,
and raising it from its gloomy charnel, I’d flaunt it in
His face and tell Him, here is the authority that was gi
ven me by the State to do all I did.
.He shows quite a fondness for antithesis, and gave us,
mingled, ever and anon, with some of the finest tales on
record, some erf the fines antithetical passages I retnembe
ever to have heard.
This has been a great day for Baldwin Raiford Divi
sion. Twenty-two persons were initiated after the close
of the public services ; and I got 14 subscribers, and the
money, for the Georgia Temperance Crusader. Long
live John Henry Beals and his most excellent temper
ance paper. ‘ Your Friend,

Good Night and Pleasant Dreams.
BY W. V. WALLACE.
When on its couch of rosy clouds
The burning sun has sunk to rest
And tired of song, the woodland brrd
Is sleeping in its quiet nest —
When evening lays its misty hand,
On dewy flowers and prattlingstreams—
How sweet to hear front lips we love,
Good night, good night, and pleasant dreams.
How sweet to hear from lips we love,
Good night, good night, and pleasant dreams.
O ! bitter is the exile’s fate,
Who wanders from his peaceful cot;
No gentle wish, or soothing word,
Can mingle in his lonely lot,
0n some still bank of moss and flow'rs
Beneath the stars’ inconstant beams,
How sweet to hear from lips we love,
• ’ Good night, good night, and pleasant dreams
How sweet to hear from lips we love,
Good night good night, and pleasant dreams.

Anna Pamela Cunningham.
Poets and orators have combined their sweetest strains
of song and adulation—hyperbole—to portray, in colors
sufficiently brilliant, the lame and glory of our immor
tal Washington. His deeds have been the theme of the
most thrilling and, withal, the most touching eloquence
ever produced in our country. Monuments, some of
which tower in majestic grandeur towards the clouds,
have been raised by the hands of art to commemorate
his worth. And yet, notwithstanding all this, there is
one thing that the men who have ridden with him in the
hour of battle, and those whose tongues have grown el
oquent —eloquent as if their lips had been touched with
divine fire —in depicting his virtues, and the duties
which we, his blood-bought children, owe to the mem
ory of those virtues, have omitted. And that is the res
cuing of his grave and home from obscurity. Mount
Vernon has, until a few weeks since, been the property
of a private individual. Even the Mussulmen are enti
tled to more credit, in this respect, than we are. They
have the remains of their Prophet deposited in a splen
did sepulchre, ornamented with all the taste and work
manship of the most skillful workmen of the East; and
the sarcophagus is erected in the city of Mecca, and
held sacred and consecrated to the exemplar of their
faith. Towards the tomb of the Prophetevery trueMa
homedan kneels when he prays to Allah, the god ofthe
Faithful. - -
Every good Mussulman is bound to make at least one
pilgrimage to the shrine of the Prophet during his life,
else he is not considered worthy to enter the heaven of
his fathers, and be there caressed by the houri of that
blessed place. Though we would disdain, with indig
nant scorn, the idea of drawing a comparison between
Mahomet and George Washington, still, the picture is
a faithful one, when viewed in the light of the compara
tive respect with which the ashes of the two men are
treated.
But, though all the efforts of man to secure the grave
of Washington as the “ property of the nation ” failed,
yet, there was still a ray of hope behind. Woman had
not yet raised her voice in behalf of the cause. The
time had now arrived, however, when she must make
an effort. That effort has been made with abundant
success. To Anna Pamela Cunningham—yclept, “the
Southern Matron ” —belongs the honor of having origi
nated the scheme which has resulted in the accomplish
ment of what the men of America had failed to accom
plish. If Crawford has rendered his name “ immortal
with all the worth of Washington,” has not she, tho
virgin mother of this most “immaculate conception,”
also claims on the American people which even time it
self cannot wipe out ? Is she not entitled to the most sa
cred niche in the temple of American heroes and hero
ines?
Miss Cunningham is said to be an invalid, and but
little given to gaiety. Her thoughts are fixed on things
higher than the mere gratification ofsense. Sheis busy
laboring for the ashes of her country’s father! What a
successful refutation do we here have of the charge that
woman never originated anything truly great! She has
originated and curried out the grandest and proudest en
terprise our country’s history can ever boast 01. Is
there an American who shall hereafter think of Wash
ington, and not also call to mind the name of Anna Pa
mela Cunningham, the Southern Matron.— llichmond

An unbeliever! Oh! that idle word
Has all my spirit’s depth of passion stirred.
An unbeliever! Sooner would I deem
Life but a vision, earth itself a dream,
And time a shadow, than to doubt the God
Whose name the billows speak, whose foot-prints mark
the sod.
Oh! were the volume of God’s word revealed,
Closed to the world—its page forever sealed ;
Were all the temples where his praises rise
Neath frozen stars, or blue and sunny skies
Forever swept from the broad earth’s confines,
God would not want for praises or for shrines.
His love is written on the earth in flowers;
I he stream that rolls, the cloud-crowned peak that tow
ers.
Symbol his glory, and his sword of fire
xim 11 - 1 ? 9 *L e ar k cloud—a type of vengeance dire
While the eternal ocean from its caves
Speaks his dread name in thunder to its waves.
In the dim aisles of many an ancient wood,
Where droops the moss, where shadows darkly brood,
And silence walks with solemn solitude,
Though the rapt ear may catch no human word,
J he hushed air, by the breath of prayer seems stirred,
I he soul feels the o’ershadowing wing of God,
And awed and reverent, kneels upon the sod.
And I have gaaed, when the mysterious night
Opens her star-clasped volume to my sight.
The wondrous scroll, nightly unrolled on high,
Where, on the eternal azure of the sky,
God wrote his name in characters of fire,
While seraph hands swept Heaven’s resounding lyre.
And could I doubt the glorious story told
By winds and woods and ocean vast and old ;
Burned on the sky in words of living gold ;
Hymned by the earth in anthems grand and bold:

Would tell ol God, eternity and Heaven.
